Firefox T-Shirt and Other merchandise -Free shipping for India

23Sep07

I have sent a mail to CEO of mozilla and got a reply from them . The mail i sent is for getting the mozilla merchandise like firefox T-shirts in India. The complete mail chain is copied below . Please refrain from sending mails to Mozilla and add comments to this post. In this way it will be easy for mozilla team to see the User expectations without reading individual mails from all.

The link for mozilla Store is http://store.mozilla.org/ . The minimum amount for order is 300$ . So LUGs users and others can add their name – product they want and quantity in comments. We can place an order depending on that, after sending a mail to david. We can ship the products to India to an address and then distibute it from there. Please let me know your comments.

Hi Jayakumar, Do you know how many people have expressed interest in purchasing from the store? I ask because we’ll incur some larger shipping costs as well — ideally we’d have an order in the $300 range to help offset these charges. This is only a temporary solution — we’re going to continue to work on a program that will allow us to ship product to people who want Mozilla gear without incurring large shipping costs.

With your permission can i publish this mail in digg, blogs and other mailing lists for LUGs in our country. Also like to know the minumum No of Orders (Shirts,T-shirts) or Minimum Cost that should be satisfied for this Free shipping offer, so that it will be helpful for us both.

We recently re-launched our Mozilla store here in the US ( store.mozilla.org) and are planning on re-launching our International/EU store in the coming weeks. We definitely recognize that international customs and shipping are a major barrier for people in other parts of the world to order Mozilla merchandise. We are looking at ways that we can effectively roll out stores to other areas of the world, like India, so that we can avoid some of the high costs associated with ordering from the US or EU stores. In the short term, if there is a group of people that you know in India that would like to place a group order, we can cover the costs of shipping and send it to you directly. Just let me know if you’d like to proceed with that option.

I think the usage of Internet and so the Firefox browser is growing here dramatically. I am not able to get the exact statistics of usage in India from any site. Does Mozilla foundation have any detail on this. Also i have seen many of my friends and colleagues interested in buying Firefox Merchandise but they are only available in US $ and UK Sterlings. Can it be made to be available for major countries in world at their own currency. So that t can reduce the cost (When calculated with exchange rates for Current US Store Price)and will drive more people to get them .ex:T-Shirts cost 20$ it is 20*44=INR 880. But if it is produced here and shipped it can be reduced to 200-400 depending up on quality of cloth used. I’ve read that previously someone from India tried to get permission from Mozilla for printing T-shorts for his own purpose and also to distribute them to his friends. Can Mozilla sign some contract with any Merchandise stores in India and provide them through Mozilla.org store. Please consider this… Thanks Jayakumar K — With regards Jayakumar Knowing about “what we dont know , not about what we know” is Knowledge. – confucius
